- Wikipedia, accessed March 16, 2018(Massachusetts Avenue (metropolitan Boston): Massachusetts Avenue, known to locals as Mass Ave, is a major thoroughfare in Boston, Massachusetts, and several cities and towns northwest of Boston. The street begins in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester and runs southeast-northwest through Boston. It crosses the Charles River from the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston into the city of Cambridge via the Harvard Bridge, where it bisects the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, passes through Central Square, and curves around two sides of Harvard Yard at Harvard Square. After Harvard Square it turns sharply northward, passes through Porter Square, where it bears northwestward. It continues through North Cambridge, Arlington, and Lexington, where it enters the Minuteman National Historical Park. The road, by the same name, continues northwest and west, through many different cities and towns, although with a few gaps at towns that have different names for the central road)
